Christopher Krebs, first director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), was fired for failing to look. You couldn't have picked a better example of gov't not looking.

Not at all. He was dismissed because they looked, looked and looked but found no evidence of widespread fraud. He then reported as much. That report was inconsistent with what the POTUS wanted to hear.

Theoretically, slaughterbots could be made to kill all men, or all women, or all children, or all people with a certain hair colour, or all people who posted disapproval of great leader X in a social network feed, or all people who pirated the latest release of TV-series Y, or everyone with a Slashdot ID over a million, and so on and so forth.

There's no end to what could trigger a cell/organisation/nation/whatever to strike with drones in that fashion.

That is one of the points the video tries to make.

The barrier to entry is soon so low and the tech is getting so advanced yet widely available that domestic drone strikes can soon be just another terrifying part part of our daily life.

Excerpt from an interview with a dev who knows how to deal with this problem:

Neo: Do you always look at it encoded?

Cypher: Well you have to. The image translators work for the construct program. But there’s way too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it. II don’t even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, red-head. Hey, you uh want a drink?

Instead, we just need to reestablish the base level of intelligence that we held for many years. From the 50s to 70s, things were pretty clear overall.

You want to go back to the type of society you had back in the days of, for example, Truman and Nixon? That almost got us a third world war.

Get a grip.

This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
